Art Teacher Substitute

I was an elementary school art teacher today. I just let them draw pictures. These are my two favorites, both from *kindergarteners:


The artist admitted to being **inspired by Van Gogh's "Starry Night." I like how he simplified it while maintaining its essence. I also like how the moon has morphed into a spiral in the kindergartener's version.

And I'm not sure if the second figure in this next budding artist's work is a sweaty fish with hair, or a fish-like person with sweat, but it is suh-weet, in my opinion:



The colors on both were better in person. My cell phone isn't the best. Aren't the pictures great?


* Five-year-olds (or five-and-a-half-year-olds, as they like to point out).

** Very very unpretentiously and innocently admitted that he enjoys that picture, which was one of the prints of great art hanging on the wall.

  2. It's actually difficult to maintain order and keep everyone getting along, but I'm sure it's very rewarding. I enjoyed it.
